My Project

Every year I try to add to my classroom to make it more cozy. I have no issues with creating a cozy environment, but I can’t eliminate my desk due to being in a testing grade. I need the tables for the days that we have tests and state exams. I need students to have a flexible workspace that can be transformed into a more traditional learning environment.

Flexible spaces are great in theory, but when we have to space the kids out in traditional seats, it becomes impossible.

I think this combination from Lakeshore can help resolve this issue.
